a2 Milk Company is a producer and marketer of branded dairy and nutritional products, distinguished by its focus on milk containing only the A2 type of beta‐casein protein. Headquartered in Auckland, New Zealand, the company markets a portfolio that includes fresh milk, milk powders, infant formula, cream and butter under the “a2” brand. Its product formulas are designed to cater to consumers who seek alternatives to conventional milk proteins, with research suggesting potential digestive benefits associated with A2 protein consumption.
Since its founding in 2000 by Dr. Corran McLachlan and Howard Paterson, a2 Milk Company has grown from a niche dairy venture into a global supplier of specialty milk products. The company first launched its A2‐only fresh milk in Australia and New Zealand in the early 2000s, and later expanded into the United Kingdom and European markets. In subsequent years, a2 Milk extended its reach into North America, establishing manufacturing partnerships in the United States, and built a significant presence in China’s infant formula and fresh milk segments via e-commerce platforms and strategic distribution alliances.
To support its international footprint, a2 Milk Company operates manufacturing facilities in Australia and New Zealand, adhering to country‐specific quality and safety standards. The company’s commercial strategy emphasizes direct relationships with retailers, targeted marketing campaigns and continued investment in clinical research to validate the health attributes of A2 protein. This approach has underpinned growth in both mature markets, such as Australia, and high‐potential regions, including Greater China and Southeast Asia.
Listed on the OTC Markets under the ticker ACOPF, a2 Milk Company is led by Chief Executive Officer David Bortolussi, who has overseen much of the company’s global expansion since his appointment. The executive team, supported by a board of directors, continues to prioritize innovation in dairy processing and product development, with ongoing efforts to broaden the a2 brand’s footprint across retail and digital channels worldwide.
